How to cure sleep insomnia?
I have a friend who is suffering from sleep insomnia. He is only seventeen and sleeping pills do not work. the only thing that helps him sleep is drinking alcohol and it worries me. I don't want him to become an alcoholic. is there any other methods?
Being on the computer too late doesn't help, also get early nights! He should exercise, if he doesn't already.
Exercise might help. so then he's tired afterward and will be able to sleep. How to cure sleep insomnia?

The Canon ZR960 is a standard definition, entry-level, miniDV tape based camcorder that can record to standard definition DV format in either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. To get video from the digital video tape to the computer, you will connect a firewire cable (not USB) to the camcorder's DV port (not USB) and the computer's firewire port (not USB). Fiwire, IEEE1394, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing. They are not USB. USB won't work. USB-to-firewire cable/converter/adapter/hub things won't work. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Inspiron_1525 your computer does not have a 1394/firewire port. However, your computer has an ExpressCard slot, so you can add a firewire port. The Canon ZR960 does not use DVDs for recording media. No one should ever get a consumer grade, DVD based, standard definition camcorder. The video is too compressed to provide decent video quality for editing. The "DV" in miniDV tape is "Digital Video". The zeros and ones recorded to miniDV tape are just as digital as those recorded to hard disc drive, flash memory or even DVD media. The difference is that the DV video file format is the least compressed. This is one - of MANY - reasons why the professionals contimnue using DV (and HDV) format video. More compression = more discarded video data = reduced video quality. A video light will help - if the subject is within about 10 feet of the light (or if the light is REALLY bright, then further is OK - but not much further). The small lenses and imaging chips in consumer camcorders do not handle low-light capture very well - the video will be grainy. As the lenses and imaging chips get bigger and the low light behavior gets better, the camcorders get more expensive. If you zoom into the darkeness - or low light - the auto focus system will not know what to focus on (not enough light). The Canon ZR960 does not have a built-in infrared emitter for zero light capture like some Sony consumer cams have. The "auto" setting in the ZR960, under low light conditions, will slow the shutter and increase the iris size. The slow shutter will cause "ghosting" during fast motion. The ZR960 is one of the least expensive camcorders with a mic jack - as with all consumer camcorders with a mic jack (there are very few - most are in the Canon line up) it is a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mic jack. A stereo mic is a good idea - otherwise, the mono mic audio will be recorded only to the right channel. You can fix this in post, but it is an extra step. The Audio Technica Pro24CM or NRG Research SA-800 are suggested - unless you are somehow compelled to buy the Canon external mic. The ZR960 does not have manual audio control. As far as I know, the least expensive camcorder with manual audio control and a mic jack is the Canon HV40. When the camcorder's DV port is connected to the computer's firewire port with the firewire cable and the camcorder is in "Play" mode, launch the video editor and "Capture" or import the video. There's lots more... but you can start with downloading the camcorder's manual from Canon. http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0300002131/01/zr960-nim-en.pdf and reading through it.
